In the ICC T20 WC, Zimbabwe won a thriller against Netherlands; Malik Ahsan Ahmad Jamil bowled the
last over when Zimbabwe
at 134/4 required 7 off 6. The event
filled last over ran thus…. 0; 2; 4; 0; 0(w – run out) – 1 from 1 needed to
avoid a Super over…. Jamil to Sibanda –
hit high over longon for a stunning six….. in the other match, UAE did play
well but lost to Ireland
by 21 runs in D/L method. In a
tournament of this proposition, it is only commercial call to telecast the
warm-of matches and hence not writing anything on India England match.

Back home, the man once
backed to the hilt by the media is now
calling it paid media, despite being favoured wildy - is now showing them what is to be projected
and what is to be shown - AAP chief
Arvind Kejriwal cancelled a public meeting in Chandrapur Lok Sabha constituency
citing ill health, leaving hundreds of
enthusiastic farmers disappointed. It is phenomenal rise in Delhi elections, overtaking the agenda of
Team Anna’s fight against corruption, but seemingly disintegrating now with
verbal jaunts and alliances with people with whom one should not be seen
flocking. Kejri formed a party, opposing
the INC but formed Govt taking its help and expectantly had to abdicate power
without doing anything. Soon he was out
calling everybody else names targetting Corporates and the paid-media !!

It's the lie in the Aam
Aadmi Party satyagraha, and it's been nailed in the Delhi High Court. The Delhi government on
Tuesday told the high court that the AAP government did not allocate any funds
to finance the Rs 6 crore subsidy that it had announced for those who did not
pay their electricity bills from October 2012 to May 2013. The lack of funds
means no one will benefit from the scheme. Don't pay your electricity bills,
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal had told Delhi's
power consumers as he went about climbing electric poles and getting his
pictures taken restoring power connections last year. Over 24,000 didn't,
between October 2012 and December 2013 ~ then Kejriwal came to power. In
February this year, AAP had announced a reward for these power bill defaulters,
declaring that those who did not pay their power bills between October 2012 and
April 2013 will have to pay only half the amount. Evidently, it is easier
opposing - but difficult when it comes to administering - but those who call
themselves 'anarchists' have no qualms... and somebody advising openly
advocating defiance – asking them not to pay …… all speak for themselves. !!!!!!!

That is politics as one
tries to outsmart another…. The other thing in news is MH 370 - Asian military
officials may be staging a mass cover-up over missing flight, because they do
not want to expose gaping holes within their countries' air defences, a leading
aviation expert has suggested. While it took days for the Malaysian Air Force
to report the spotting of the plane; Thailand's
military say they detected a plane at 1.28am, eight minutes after MH370's
communications went down, heading towards the Strait but did not share the
information because they were not asked for it.

The plausible of the
reasons, which perhaps would find readymade acceptance is that the flight MH
370 was in trouble and simply heading
for the nearest safe airport when it turned off-course, according to a veteran
pilot who predicts, in a viral online post, that the wreckage will be
discovered somewhere west of the Maldives today. Chris Goodfellow, a
Canadian pilot with 20 years experience, has hailed captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah
a hero, not a hijacker, in his fascinating explanation, which claims to debunks
all theories about the fate of the missing jet. He insists the only reasonable
scenario is that a fire broke out aboard the plane and Shah was doing exactly
what he needed to do in an emergency - get the plane to the nearest airport as
soon as possible.

In all War and politics, it is the truth that is the worst
suffer….. to sign off, read today that 10 people working for one of Europe's
largest telecom firms in France have committed suicide in the past three months
for reasons ‘explicitly related’ to their jobs. Orange France, a company also
present in the UK,
is notorious for its tough approach to customer services as well as their
employees. Staff working in call centres have previously complained about a
'bullying culture' and the firm, including having to ask permission to go to
the bathroom. Now it is in wrong reasons for some staff complain that the
bullying and stress are so high, that dozens are depressed and are resorting to
putting an end to their lives on their
own.
